webdevRefinery Forum: htaccess Help - webdevRefinery Forum

Hey, so I just recently moved a website I was working on for a client into production, working in the root directory of public_html/ on his account. I have the following htaccess rewrite to remove the index.php? from the URL.. However, I have a webapp hosted in a subdirectory of public_html, in public_html/tickets

Regardless of my adding tickets to the list of exclusions, and that it shouldn't rewrite because it's a directory... it's giving me a 404.

If I take it off, and access the app, I can then access it... But if the rewrites are there and my cache is clear - I can't access the webapp. The tickets folder is password protected via it's own htaccess.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php?|sitemap.xml|robots\.txt|assets|tickets)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index\.php?/$1 [L]

Any ideas? I suppose I could create my own authentication for the app if that's the problem - but I'd like to avoid it if possible. The app is so simple that I really don't want to involve that much session management. (I'm using sessions to store a limited amount of data, and I'd have to rewrite parts of the app if I added PHP-side authentication).

I'm using CodeIgniter for both projects, if it matters.
